As the newspaper reports, "Holliday had to leave Monday's game in the eighth inning after a moth flew into his right ear and became lodged in the canal." Pictures and video show he was in some pain.

Holliday was taken to a dark room, MLB.com says, "in hopes the moth would seek light and fly out. However, the insect had gone in headfirst and was unable to turn around. Thus, tweezers had to be used to remove it."
